Beyond Anne Frank : hidden children and postwar families in Holland
The image of the Jewish child hiding from the Nazis was shaped by Anne Frank, whose house has become a shrine to the Holocaust. This examination of hidden children presents their experiences before, during and after hiding, analyzing the shifting identities, memories and family dynamics that marked their lives from childhood through advanced age.
